Xgl doesn't start with fglrx

[Luis M]

I did it this way before:

http://lems.kiskeyix.org/puntoyaparte/index.php?story_id=58

Now I do a combination of that and use this as my session from gdm:

http://lems.kiskeyix.org/toolbox/?f=compiz.sh

Read the comments on that script, essentially all you need to do is:

edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom:

[servers]

 [server-Standard]
 name=Xgl server
 command=/usr/bin/Xgl -fullscreen -ac -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer
 flexible=true

edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf:
#0=Standard
1=Standard

$> cat /usr/share/xsessions/compiz.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Compiz
Comment=This session logs you into GNONE with Compiz enabled
Exec=/usr/local/bin/compiz.sh
# no icon yet, only the top three are currently used
Icon=
Type=Application
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-session-2.0

And /usr/local/bin/compiz.sh is the link I gave you above. Save that
to /usr/local/bin

When you run compiz-gnome for the first time you will need to turn on
some plugins. Read from my article above on how to go about running
gconf with the plugins on (or adding the manually using gconf-editor).
